"Discrimination
and intolerance against women, supposedly prescribed by religion or
tradition, must be resolutely condemned. To that end, the Special
Rapporteur reiterates his recommendation that a seminar should be held on
the status of women from the standpoint of religion, traditions and human
rights, so as not only to identify manifestations of discrimination and
intolerance, but also to formulate practical recommendations and a plan
of action for eradicating such practices."
Report by Mr.
Abdelfattah Amor, Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief
(E/CN.4/1999/58) that led to his Study on Freedom of Religion or Belief
and the Status of Women From the Viewpoint of Religion and Traditions
(E/CN.4/2002/73/Add.2).
